We really need to find a way to extrtact the pups from the core container pup using an executable for windows.. so we can PWN sony.. yeah i'm all for cfw guys.. i am. has anyone created a meathod of extracting the pups besides Python scripts and and linux executibles??

The offset of PUP files must be calculated in blocks. Also, every PUP file inside the PUP pack begins with a specific hex sequence (which I believe it may be related to the encryption/decryption process). The first PUP file data should start with: 0x4F153D1D0001011204000000A005C009

And all the subsequent PUP files in the PUP pack should start with:
0x4F153D1D0001011204000000B0013003

Unfortunately we are on the edge of pointless hacking , soon this console will be in past and regular chap PC will be better , decade ago PS2 was something gr8 new and fresh and now not enough consoles are locked in any way but normal PC in year time will outperform them in all possible ways sad but true and means to crack them open are just going crazy in means of time and money

PS4 System Software Update 1.50 Firmware & Recovery PUP Arrive

Following up on the initial news and PS4 Firmware v1.50 release, today Sony has officially released PS4 System Software Update 1.50 (technically 1.501) and the Recovery PUP file just days before the North American PlayStation 4 release on November 15, 2013.

The PS4 1.50 Firmware Update PS4UPDATE.PUP weighs in at 308 MB and the Recovery PUP is 859 MB in size for those curious. As always, we will update this article as more information becomes available on these PlayStation 4 1.50 Update and Recovery PUP files.

This time, SONY officially releases the firmware 1.5. Now what we know for sure are a few things:

The 0x01000000 in the SLB2 firmware container files is the SLB2 version, not the firmware version.

The prior firmware which was "leaked" is not the same as they released now. The current firmware has the version 01.501.000. The prior one had 2 different XML's files, so it's still unclear if it was 01.000.000, as the US update list said or 01.500.000, as the JP update list said.

Check that the power indicator is not lit. If the power indicator is lit up in orange, touch the power button on the PS4 system for at least 7 seconds (until the system beeps a second time).

Connect the USB storage device that the update file is saved on to your PS4 system, and then touch the power button for at least 7 seconds.
